No matter, you are loved, regardless. 😊

edit: also, pedant isn’t really the word you’re looking for, I think.

edit2: fuck, now it is

“Our words demonstrate our nature. The type of person we are and our thought process.”

I love you and I hope you have a blessed evening, or morning.

edit: I never said I was agnostic btw lol

Well, I’m sorry you feel that way. Obviously, I feel differently. There’s so much to be said about the human experience and I feel religion and spirituality inherently play a large role in how the species has evolved recently and the understanding of those can expand one’s mind.

I’m most sorry that you felt the need to reply with the same superiority complex shared by the Western Christian Church. You clearly have been hurt by religious figures in some way, or else you wouldn’t harbour so much resentment and hatred. I want you to know, and I mean this with all sincerety, I love you.

“The one who loves all intensely begins perceiving in all living beings a part of himself. He becomes a lover of all, a part and parcel of the Universal Joy. He flows with the stream of happiness, and is enriched by each soul.”

What an incredibly apathetic view. Do you dare not learn all you can with what miniscule time we have here? How much history, story, mythos, and philosophy do you miss out on? Are the Vedas treated with such blantant disregard? The Parthenon? Ted Lasso was right, it’s significantly better to be curious and not judgemental.

Doesn’t that put the onus on the companies who follow that advisement? E.g. Allstate chose to be assholes for more money. If it’s not McKinsey, then someone else. McKinsey is doing what they were hired to do. They are a symptom, not the disease. I always see this disdain for McKinsey, but not Bain, or BCG. Curious.

I don’t think they like pacifists lol. I’m with you, mate.

Or it could because it’s a civil case with no penal repercussions, because it’s a bloody civil case. For them to go to jail, the DOJ would have to file criminal charges against Meta. They won’t do that, not because of Pedo President, but because the DOJ has been too chicken shit since Enron to go after anyone else.

No matter the argument

you would define burning someone’s house down as an argument? wild lol

What the commenter said, was precisely accurate. You should not wish harm on someone over an argument. It only ever leads to escalation.

I did say every structure through inference. You are still disagreeing with me. If you can’t see it, so be it. I’m Audi

not necessarily. I know far too many intelligent people who are hard-line conservatives. it’s just a lack of empathy, world experience, stubborn ignorance, or some combination of the above. Although, I do concede that the overwhelming majority of the populous that is uneducated is Republican and this is entirely my anecdotal perspective.

Drives me a little fewer crazy

fixed it!

No, in your list only religious people…

You started off your comment by saying no. This indicates a negative position. Since you responded to my comment, I can only assume you are taking a negative position against my comment.

Then you followed that position up with anecdotal evidence, not responding to the key position I maintain; that this is not unique to religion, but every structure in which power and positions of authority exist. If it exists, it can be corrupted. Again, modus operandi, does not matter, since that is inherently a key part of my position.

If you were just commenting a personal experience, then why did you start off with, “No”? What is your position in this debate? Because, I am finding myself further, and further lost.

if you can count it, it’s fewer. if you can’t, it’s less. e.g. i need less voltage and fewer capacitors for my project.

crazy how many people miss that.

I’m sorry, I thought we were interjecting personal experience as conjecture.

In direct response to your original comment, you have proven my point exactly. People who were in a position of power/authority abused it. It doesn’t matter what the modus operandi is when the fundamental consequence is the same. People want power, people get it, people abuse it. It’s not inherently unique to any one thing in humanity, it’s ubiquitous.

What role did religion play when my sisters ex partner, who was an atheist, beat the shit out of her and raped her? Please explain, as my life experiences are clearly limited.

And I’m like, “Huh, I figured pirating was gonna weigh something but that seems a little much”

Honestly, that’s it in a nutshell. The complete lack of human empathy is the issue. Whatever tools are available for someone to take advantage of, will be. Humans are animals. We like to act like we’re some superior species, advanced so far, but in the grand scheme of the universe and knowledge, we’re so young. We know absolutely nothing. The arrogance of humanity.

Can’t miss out if you dedicate yourself to all the religions!

Religion, government, business, a non profit, it doesn’t matter what it is, people will assume a position of authority in whatever power structure that has space, and corrupt it. It’s not unique to religion. It’s only because religion has been corrupted by people desiring power, that people hate religion. But in that same vein, the fight should be about dismantling power structures and creating equality. Which, would be in line with some religions, ironically.
